Adding S8 to the rule gives a rule in which the (63,14)c/707 puffer still works; it just evolves slightly differently, with a 4x4 checkercomb in the output being replaced by a 3x3 one (logical, since both are the endpoints of the TL sequence in their respective rules). But this rule has a natural (9,2)c/101 cordership:

It unfortunately doesn't work without S8, but the fact a natural cordership exists in such a close relative makes me think there should be a cordership in the original rule too, just perhaps slightly bigger. But the +S8 corderknightship is an impressive enough find on its own!

apgsearch found a (9,2)c/101 ship of a similar size in the rule without S8, too!
